Germany, visitors tend to use the term ‘authentisch’ to refer to a relatively unm ediated
form of exposition, though also to the use of certain materials and surfaces (e.g. bare
bricks). This implies that the use of particular media, perhaps especially electronic media,
might in some circumstances be seen as reducing ‘authenticity’, though further research is
required to investigate this, and also how it might interact with other design features,
such as the use of certain materials.
